When those esteemed monks reply as they do you should take note. There is always more than one way to do it, although there is not always a good reason. If you really must reinvent the File::Find wheel:

use strict;
use warnings;

sub search_dir {
    my ($dir) = @_;
    
    my $dh;
    if ( !opendir ($dh, $dir)) {
        warn "Unable to open $dir: $!\n";
        return;
    }
    
    # Two dummy reads for . & ..
    readdir ($dh);
    readdir ($dh);
    
    while (my $file = readdir ($dh) ) {
    
        my $path = "$dir/$file";    # / should work on UNIX & Win32
        
        if ( -d $path ) {
            print "Directory $path found\n";
            search_dir ($path); 
        }
        else {
            print "File $path found\n";
        }
    }
    
    closedir ($dh);
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
